Expanding EPNOE leadership towards Food and Health related materials, and increasing industrial participation (EPNOE CSA)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The need for a transition towards a CO2 neutral biobased economy or bioeconomy, increasing population and globalisation of economies will have the consequence of a need for enhanced supplies of biobased resources. To this end, polysaccharides will be at the central point of the world of tomorrow for sustainable fuel, food, materials and medicine production. EPNOE (European Polysaccharide Network o ...

Low-cost switchable reflective polymeric solar heat gain control films for energy-efficient smart-window applications (SOLARGAIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

Buildings are a major end-user of European energy, representing 40% of energy consumption and 1,800 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. Improved energy efficiency within buildings is, therefore, a priority objective in enabling Europe to meet its Kyoto Protocol commitments. Whilst a desirable architectural feature enabling enhanced occupier comfort, windows are recognised as a key weak spot in the bu ...

Surface functionalisation of cellulose matrices using cellulose embedded nano-particles (Surfuncell)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

The projects main R&T objective is to create new, smart and bio-based surface nanostructured polymer composites showing exceptional surface functionality (mechanical, chemical, selective interaction properties). These new materials will be composed of nano-scaled polysaccharides layers with embedded nano-particles, coating different celluloses matrices. The compounding is restricted to the biopoly ...
